The Curse of Xanathon (Inactive)

Game Master Helaman

"A few minutes at best....here, help me with this rope!"

Magnus starts tying the guards up, then will move forward to engage the new set of guards...

How long will it take to tie them up?

Aukan snarls at the scratches and retaliates...with a Frenzy

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Frenzy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

HP 20/32

Liam assist in the tying up, but he keeps an ear toward the door, listening for the group having trouble. and relying on Elaris to warn them of trouble.

Elaris' eyebrow raises at the spectacle of Aukan going into a frenzy within the confines of the passageway. It was quiet a different experience than seeing it in the more expansive outdoors.

She offers and aside to Karl, "That is one I am glad is on our side."

Humming a sea-shanty from the Principalities, she knocks another arrow and fires...

Attack #2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Just need Seneon I think.

indeed, Elaris...we are quite a team.

shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
sneak attack : 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
Seneon ducks when Aukan goes into frenzy, then springs back up, attacking a guard.

Its gonna take about a minute or more to tie them up, remember its not like combat - you can use the wool blankets from beds in the room for bindings

Liam and Magnus look around for materials to tie up their sleeping enemies.

Aukan hits a guardsman but not quite killing him

Aukan don't you get two attacks? Your rage lasts for 1 minute and its been only about half that. I'll use your frenzy roll as the 2nd attack

and then follows up with a massive strike that cuts deep into the mans chest, cutting him open and dropping him! #3

Karls spiritual weapon strikes the other guard in the face, making him reel back in surprise. Seneon, steps up, takes advantage of the distraction and kills the man dead. #3, then moves back out of the front rank I think thats appropriate

Finally Elaris' shoots one of the guards at the rear of the pack - wounding but not killing him.

--- Enemy---

#5 goes after the devious halfling.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

#9 and 10 go after the raging giant.

#9 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Advantage 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

#10 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Advantage 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

More guards pour into the corridor.

The guard with the arrow in him runs to the end of the corridor and begins pounding desperately on the door, screaming for help.

Party up!!!

Round 7, Spiritual Weapon Rds 6/10, I assume the Faerie Fire advantage does not include the now approaching guards?

Karl moves the the Spiritual Weapon to the foremost guards within 5 feet of one another.

SW Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
SW Crit Dam: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11

Bonus Action to attack the adjacent enemy, per the spell.

SW Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
SW Dam: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Aukan wasn't attacking recklessly...my two earlier rolls were Frenzies. Sorry for the confusion. If Aukan were frenzied AND reckless attacking it would be a total of 4 d20 rolls.

NO RETREAT PUNY MAN! Aukan screams at the guard running away.

Aukan attacks the nearest guards

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Frenzy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

in any case none of those attacks hit Aukan, who's AC is 16 since he has a shield and axe right now.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk" Elaris says softly, "Don't leave the party..."

She targets the guard she shot, before his screams bring more enemies...

Attack, longbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Attack, longbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Seneon ducks past Aukans back swings.
Oh my...
Seneon tries to hit guard 5 with his shortsword.
Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Would sneak attack apply? if so:
Sneak Attack: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

Magnus continues to cut blankets to tie the sleeping guards up. He will listen if called for, however.

Nothing from Liam... gonna assume he's still tying up guards

Aukan kills one of the guard in two blows.#10

Elaris nails the guard at the end of the corridor to the door he was hammering on.

Seneons attacks strike armour.

Bot-ing Karl: Karls spiritual weapon attacks Seneons foe.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

It makes the guard reel in pain. Had Seneon been able to pierce the armour, he'd surely have been able to take the chance to do more damage.

Guard #5 Attacks Seneon again, snarling. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Guards 8 and 9 attack Aukan.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Party up!

Round 6 I think...

yes unless there are sounds of real trouble outside, I also hope that someone will call for help if needed

As Liam ties up the sleeping guards, he glances out the door to see Elaris, trying to discern if she looks like they need his help out there yet.

Round 7, Spiritual Weapon Rds 5/10, I have us at round 7, and you should have attacked twice if foes within 5 ft of eachother.

Karl moves the the Spiritual Weapon to the foremost guards within 5 feet of one another.

SW Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
SW Dam: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Bonus Action to attack the adjacent enemy, per the spell.

SW Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
SW Dam: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Last round missed attack... 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 - would have missed

Aukan roars savagely

Attack1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Frenzy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

YOUR PUNY BLOWS MEAN NOTHING TO AUKAN! FACE MY BATTLE SPIRIT AND QUIVER LITTLE MAN!

Thanks GM Helaman!

Magnus jumps as he hears Aukan yell.

"Do you think they need our help? Maybe one of us should check it out." he says to Liam.

shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
if sneak attack applies: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7
Mr. Liam!! Mr. Magnus!

Liam's eyes light up at the opportunity, Magnus barely finishes his suggestion when Liam volunteers, I'm on it!

Liam draws his sword and readies his shield as he heads out to face the enemy.

Elaris nods with satisfaction as her arrow finds its mark. She peers into the action by Aukan and Seneon, seeing her opportunity , draws, knocks and fires...

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10
